That's very good news !
Thank you especially for the improved A-130, A-131 and A-135.
Also the A-171-2 is going to be great, though I find the graphics to be a little confusing. Are the "curves" pictures really necessary ?
I think there's already a lot of info on little panel space...
Of course it's a personal preference.
